RGBy Lamp is LED Colour-Changing Toy for Colour Scheme Fanatics
Posted by Kit Eaton at 9:43 PM on July 18, 2008
We showed you the impressive RGBy tabletop last year, but designers Makoto Hirahara and Shinya Matsuyama have gone and commercialised a new chameleon colour-change lamp. The RBGy lamp is a simple battery-powered gizmo that changes colour to match whatever object you've got it sitting on. You simply press to capture, and it copies the colour by varying its LED illumination. It's hard to think of a purpose for it, other than impressing your date by matching the moodlighting to her dress... but there are cheaper ways to impress, given that each 2.75-inch steel and plastic lamp costs US$199.

What ever happened to just lighting a candle and slipping something in her drink?

Yeah, like you could just give her the money! Hmm... suddenly, my conviction for soliciting makes a lot more sense.

It would help cut down on my monthly duct tape bill.
But seriously, what would happen is you put a piece of camouflage under it? Would it just blend the colors?

Finally, I can see what color my ass is. Oh, I guess all lamps are that color...

@DarthTader: Yes the colors would just blend.
